chat channels: /part /join /0 - /9

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Attached patch adds the following commands:

/join <channel 0 - 9> (password)
  Joins a channel with optional password
/part <channel 0 - 9>
  parts a channel

/0 /1 ... /9
  send a message to that channel to all users also joined with the same
password.

Due to server<-->qvm design limitations, channels must be rejoined on a map
restart.

Welcome to irc :/

You could save the channels to a cvar with the CVAR_ARCHIVE flag, they will be
restored on the next map so you could read them to restore the channels.

Also, what does the password do?

Wait.

You mean trem+irc?

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

Just a few questions. Are the channels that can be joined specified server 
side, or
by the client who connects?

1st @ para:

* these are all client commands, they are quite simply channels 0 through 9.

* however each channel can have a password set per user, only other players 
that have
the same password for that channel will see their messages. this makes it very
versatile and we could all '/join 0 op>', other players that '/join 0' or use 
any
other password wont see us chatting.

2nd @ updated patch (obsoletes previous attachment):

* using /0 /1, etc. with no chat text will print current password and who is 
also
joined to that channel using the same password.

* if !registered, player channels are saved between map changes and disconnects 
(see
next point)

* adds a g_chat cvar, default is 'chat.dat'
  this is the file where persistant channel data is stored (data about each
registered user's channels and passwords).

Version 3 of the patch adds admin command !seen, admin flag 'D' - same as 
!listadmins.

!seen name|admin#
  will print out the last time the player was on the server
  supports name search - will print first 10 matches.

This data is saved in chat.dat and is why !seen is not a separate patch.
